Had been recommending Lex Fridman to my wife for a while, and she finally tried it out, with one of the best episodes of all, the one with Yuval Noah-Harari.
She later asked me about other possible ones -- which is hard, because they're so many! -- so I ended up making a "top 10" by curating other top lists and picking what I liked, though I was leaving out a lot.
In particular, I tried to pick broad-based ones, leaving out some of the more nerdy programming-language ones (or, this would've also included Chris Lattner or Guido Van Rossum etc)
Here is the guest list (11 here, because I'm including Yuval in the mix):
- Walter Isaacson
- Dan Carlin
- Eric Weinstein
- Noam Chomsky
- Jordan Peterson
- Jack Dorsey
- Yuval Noah-Harari
- Michael Malice
- Andrew Bustamante
- Richard Wolff
- Sara Walker
